With the recent new arrival and the inevitable 2nd within a few years i need a bigger car. The main issue i have at the moment is boot space. I need something that will comfortably fit quite a bulky buggy plus maybe shopping luggage etc.
What do you family types on there drive?
I have my eye on a few cars but there might be something i have missed. I really like the 1 Series but have a feeling the boot will be on the small side, i also like the 3 series but again being a saloon boot space will be limited. Anyone got a 3 series?

Plan ahead for numbers 3 and 4 and get a people carrier. Think hard, read all the reviews and then buy a Toyota.

Mitsubishi ASX4, and we love it. Plenty of space in the car with the kids and nice boot space too.

My skoda has a huge boot and I have two kids and a wife. When I'm dragged out shopping a big boot is needed!

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit...

If you're looking at BMW's do what Sippo did and buy a Skoda and save the rest of the money. Your car will get keyed less often too.

You're more than welcome to look at mine at some point. Yes it's older, but will give you an idea on space. This is a steal at £8k. http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/316202-octavia-vrs-le-petrol-for-sale/ |

If you've got that kind of budget, I'd be looking at brand new Kia's.
7 year warranty is not to be sniffed at.

Would agree but are quite plasticy inside. Isn't it 7 years or 100k miles? |
